After that we had morning tea in town before visiting the local lookout near where the ships come in - gypsum is exported by ship from Ceduna and over 65 ships a year come in to collect it. I'm not sure if it goes overseas or is sent around locations in Australia.
We then visited a local seafood processing store and purchased a "dozen oysters" (14 oysters in their shells freshly opened in front of us) plus a kilo of king prawns - Lorelle's favourite seafood. I'm not a great fan of prawns but I just love oysters and they were absolutely delicious. The Eyre Peninsula, of which Ceduna is a part, produces a huge number of oysters - you may have heard of Coffin Bay oysters - well Coffin Bay is coming up on our trip in the next couple of days but we're not waiting until then......
We had afternoon tea and a birthday cake (good old Sarah Lee!) for Lorelle that afternoon andtonight we went out to the local pub for dinner - very nice. We even played the pokies - there are no pokies in WA!!
Happy Birthday Lorelle! |
